β-Adrenergic Receptor and Insulin Resistance in the Heart
Insulin resistance is characterized by the reduced ability of insulin to stimulate tissue uptake and disposal of glucose including cardiac muscle. These conditions accelerate the progression of heart failure and increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases. It is noteworthy that some conditions of insulin resistance are characterized by up-regulation ...
متن کاملβ-Adrenergic receptor signaling in cardiac function and heart failure
INTRODUCTION Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major public health problem. Nearly 5 million Americans are afflicted with CHF and about 550,000 new cases are diagnosed each year (1). CHF is a pathophysiological condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the metabolic needs of the body. It is the endpoint for several cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery di...
متن کاملβ-adrenergic receptor responsiveness in aging heart and clinical implications
Elderly healthy individuals have a reduced exercise tolerance and a decreased left ventricle inotropic reserve related to increased vascular afterload, arterial-ventricular load mismatching, physical deconditioning and impaired autonomic regulation (the so called "β-adrenergic desensitization"). Adrenergic responsiveness is altered with aging and the age-related changes are limited to the β-adr...

متن کاملChanges in blood pressure and heart rhythm during transhiatal esophagectomy
Background: Esophagectomy is considered to be the main treatment for esophageal malignancies. Among the different methods, transhiatal approach can cause less damage to patients and is widely used however, manipulation of esophagus result in heart rate and blood pressure variations. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in blood pressure and heart rhythm during transhiatal esophagect...
